Thats an overweight landing. Landing over your max certified weight. It's a non event in every jet I have flown, although I do not have any time in a Phenom. I'm not faulting the crew, they did a great job in bringing it back on one engine, it's just that the thinking now with this scenario is to take the overweight landing and get it on the ground as soon as possible. Especially with a long, dry runway.
Max landing weight limits are for normal operations, not emergencies.
